Disclaimer: I don't own FAIRY TAIL! :'(

And an answer to Wacko12:

Zeref founded what later shaped itself to become Alvarez Empire, which united 730 guilds of Alakitasia by martial force, but he rarely dabbled in politics unless necessary, preferring to stay beyond the capital, or even the empire itself, while his ministers and generals do the majority of the work, (it's not lazy at all! lol, jk xD) so I decided, not to go into major details of it, and let other dudes take care of it xD, Idk if that was what you were asking, but I kinda gave an answer xD

And, in the comments, someone also said it was mixed with NaLu.

And the answer to that is...

YES! I SHIP THEM SOOO HARD! :D


NO FLAMING OR CRITICS PLEASE!


They searched for hours for him, without any luck.

Finally, they decided to head back to Fairy Tail, in hopes of combining everyones skills to find The Fire Dragon Slayer.

Gray's arms were crossed the entire time. Everyone took notice in the angry grunts when he took a breath.

Finally, Lucy was to curious not to ask what was going on. "What's wrong with you Gray?"

Gray frowned. "What?"

"You seem angry."

"I'm not angry."

Lucy raised her eyebrow, and was about to say something when she was cut off.

"Observe the tone of your voice, Gray." Erza reminded. "It does sound fairly angry.

Gray dropped his shoulders. "Okay, so maybe I am a little angry."

"Why?"

"Because of Natsu." Gray's answer surprised all of them.

Sure, everyone knew that Gray and Natsu were "sworn enemies", as they called themselves, but Natsu was missing, and Gray was still angry at him?

Lucy's lip trembled. "W-why are you angry at him!?" She exclaimed, trying to hold back the tears that were pressuring to burst out for hours now. "He...he's missing! We don't know what could be happening to him! He could be suffering right now! And your angry at him!?"

Wendy touched Lucy's arm, in an attempt to calm her, she sighed and glanced down at Wendy, letting a small smile come to her face.

Gray shook his head. "No, no...I'm not particularly angry at just him. It's Zeref, and this END guy, and...that messenger. I think I want to know why Zeref said he missed Natsu!"

"We all do, Gray," Erza said. "But now is not the time to be thinking of that."

"I-I know...and your right...but..." Gray hesitated. "I'm beginning to think that Natsu ducked out on his own...and...and that he went to find Zeref himself."


Finally the team arrived at Fairy Tail, and entered quickly.

"Lucy, find Master, explain the situation, and bring him down." Erza commanded. "Wendy, Carla, I need you to go find some of the guild members that are out in Magnolia today, bring them here, and you must explain the situation also. Take Happy with you."

The said mages nodded and did as they were told.

"What's going on, Erza?" A member asked.

"...Natsu...has...disappeared."


Brother...

Dragneel...

E.N.D...

Natsu was trying to comprehend these thoughts.

"N-No..." He muttered. "I-I can't be your brother!"

Zeref's eyes looked right into his, reviling he was telling the absolute truth.

"If...If I'm your brother...then why don't I remember!?"

Zeref's face softened a bit more. "You've been having dreams, haven't you?"

Natsu scowled, and nodded.

"Memories. Natsu, that is what they are. Those are our memories?"

"I-I want to know. Please...all of them." Natsu said after a moment of silent.

Zeref was a small bit taken back. If Natsu hadn't remembered, he wouldn't know how dangerous giving him all of the memories really was. "N-Natsu...t-that could send you into a comma! O-or possibly be so overwhelming...that...that...you could loose your mind!"

Natsu gave him a smile, something that Zeref hadn't seen since years back.

"If I am E.N.D...then...I can handle it, right?" Natsu wondered, a grin on his face. "From what I heard, this guy is pretty powerful. And from what you've told me...I-I am as well."

Zeref shivered and rubbed his arms.

"Listen," Natsu sighed, looking at his feet. "I am to curious not to not know. And I don't want you saying that: "I will figure out in time", I don't want any of that shit, I want...I want the truth."

Zeref swallowed. "Y-You do understand the risks?"

"Of course."

"You realize, if you fall into a comma, you will have to fight to make sure that you don't loose your mind, and if you loose...you won't be in control of your own body."

"I understand."

Zeref almost let his eyes well up and the tears to fall down his face. The confidence...it had always been inside Natsu. But Zeref didn't want to harm him.

As if Natsu had read his mind, he let up a grin. "Hey...um...you don't have to worry, okay? I'm...I'm strong. Heh...I want to know."

Zeref nodded.

"I-if you happen to go into unconsciousness...I will be bringing you back to your friends."

"But...but I am going to have to find you again! I-"

"Don't worry Natsu, we'll be...we'll meet again soon."

Before Natsu could say another word, Zeref quickly walked up to him, and press his forehead against Natsu's, placing his hands on both sides of Natsu's face, and closing his eyes, sending surges of power and his own memories into Natsu.

Natsu twitched his eye. Zeref wasn't lying, it was so overwhelming...

Suddenly, it became to much overwhelming, and Natsu slipped down to the floor, rendering unconscious.

Zeref took a deep breath, and also fell to the floor. He glanced at his brother, who's chest was heaving up and down. But...at least he was alive.

"I-I'm so sorry Natsu..."

Zeref placed Natsu's head in his lap, and smiled. "Tooku ni ite mo kimi ni todoku darou, Kono boku ga kokoro kome okuru messeeji, Kibou koso rashinban sa Ai wo yubisasu yo, Nemure Sotto nemure Asu wa yume tairiku, Perhaps I can reach you, even though you're far away, I send you this message with all my heart, Hope is certainly a compass that points to love,

Sleep, sleep gently, for tomorrow is a continent of dreams, Kodoku ni obiete ita yuube no kimi, Boku no na wo yonde 'ta ne Mune ni terepashii, Kiseki nanka ja nai Towa ni ai wa enajii da kara, Nemure Sotto nemure Kanashimi wo wasurete, Jidai wa umi ni shizumu yuuhi no you sa, Hoshizora wo tobikoete kimi wo mukae ni yuku, Hoshizora wo tobikoete kimi wo mukae ni yuku," Zeref sang, brushing away pink hair that was covering his brothers eyes.

"Perhaps I can reach you, even though you're far away, I send you this message with all my heart, Hope is certainly a compass that points to love, Sleep, sleep gently, for tomorrow is a continent of dreams,

Last night you were scared of loneliness, The telepathy in your heart called my name, It's not even a miracle that in the future our hearts will be energy, Sleep, sleep gently, forget your sorrow, The years sink into the sea like the setting sun, I'll jump across the starry sky to collect you, I'll jump across the starry sky to collect you..."

The door opened, and Messenger entered.

"I need you to take Natsu. Please, put him in a spot that his friends will find him, make sure he is not there for long."

Messenger nodded. Zeref stood and whipped away a tear.


Lucy woke up, feeling groggily, and still worried about Natsu.

Her bed was warm, and she moved her legs to feel around the bed, half expecting Natsu to be laying on the other side of it. But no one was there.

Lucy sighed and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands. Then she stood up, and almost had a heart attack. Natsu was lying on her floor. Lucy stood up and quickly ran to him, checking if he was awake.

He wasn't breathing very much. Not good. She didn't have a way to call any of the other members, so she did the next best thing. She slung Natsu's arm over her shoulder, and as fast as she could, ran out.

People gave her strange looks, but Lucy wasn't bothered. She was more concentrated on helping Natsu.

It was almost fate...as people would call it...

When Lucy ran into Gray Fulbuster.

"Gah!" She grunted, and shook her head.

"Lucy are you-oh my god, Natsu!"

At first he sounded relieved, and excited, and when Gray realized he shook his head head disgust.

"What's his problem?"

"I don't know, he's badly breathing Gray! Help me get him to the guild."

The words: barley breathing, caught Gray's attention, and he immediately put Natsu's arm around his shoulder, and helped him to the guild. Gray kicked open the door, causing a dramatic entrance, and they stumbled in.

"Natsu!" Lisanna exclaimed.

Erza quickly ran over, and took Lucy's place.

"We need to get him to the infirmary." Erza said.

Erza and Gray started dragging Natsu up the stairs, Lucy, Happy, Wendy, Carla, Mirajane, Lisanna, and Levy following, while Gajeel instructed that everyone stay where they were.

They lay Natsu on a bed, and waited for Master Makarov to enter.

Erza and Gray had already done a medical check on him, having learned some medical classes, and said that they needed a doctor.

"Maybe Porlyusica?" Wendy suggested. "She is good at healing."

"Can you see how fast Porlyusica can come?" Lucy asked Master worriedly.

"Yes. Lucy, Gray, watch Natsu-"

"I want to stay too!" Happy objected.

"I need your help."

"Why?"

"I need your help, finding some materials for Porlyusica, she will be needing them, and Mira, you will help me find her."

The others in the room left, leaving Gray and Lucy alone with Natsu.

Lucy laid her hand on his.

Gray really was angry at Natsu. He wanted him to be okay. But he was angry at Natsu for being hurt.

Lucy stared down at him. "I-is he going to be alright?"

Gray took a breath. "I don't know, Lucy."

Lucy let a few tears out of her eyes. "He has to be okay."

Gray looked down at Natsu.

Though he never liked to admit it, him and Natsu were best friends.

They've known each other for a while. And they fought because they loved each other as friends. Gray was always set, emotionally. When bad things happened, he always made sure to never cry. But he was so worried about Natsu...that...he was tempted to cry.

In a friendly act, he placed his hand on Natsu's, and closed his own eyes.


"Helloooooooooooooo...?" A voice called.

Natsu glanced around, finding only blackness and darkness. "W-who's there!?"

"Darkness! Me! The black all around yoouu!"

Natsu glared at the darkness. But he felt weak. He couldn't remember his own name. He couldn't remember who he was.

"Oh...I can read your thoughts! Wanna know who ya are?"

"Yes."

"Well, that's the only way to defeat me, so...I think that I won't tell ya! Ha!"

Natsu balled his hands into fists. "Please!" He begged.

"Nah!"

"Please!" Natsu cried.

"No amount of begging will change my miind!"

Natsu's eyes welled up with tears, and he rubbed them. He felt to his knees, and squeezed his eyes shut.

"I have to remember..." He muttered, and then smirked. "I know I can do that."
